In 1993, inspired by countless exhibition matches termed the “Gracie Challenge”, a tradition that started with his uncle and Gracie jiu-jitsu co- founder Carlos Gracie, Rorion teamed with promoter and business executive Art Davie in the creation of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Davie had always dreamed of an inter-discipline contest, pitting various martial arts against one another to determine the most effective. Rorion was only interested in showcasing his father’s style, and demonstrating its dominance. Through this pay-per-view spectacle, he hoped to show that, in a “no time limit – no rules” setting, Gracie jiu-jitsu was the only system of self- defense that would give someone a realistic chance of defeating a larger, more athletic adversary. Davie recruited seven martial artists of different styles to participate in a single-elimination tournament. Rorion enlisted his brother Royce to represent the family style in the competition. Due to his smaller frame and relatively low body weight, Royce would be the smallest competitor, making an excellent example of the powers of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
